I'm sorry - after Levente contacted me on IRC I tried the graceful restart which didn't help, but I had no time for further investigation. So I gave him access (he is a board member, which implies a certain degree of trustworthiness), and asked him to write the mail notifying the rest of the team.

Maybe we should switch to personal accounts and sudo, at least for root access.

Really, I'm sorry to have startled you, Ken, though I don't really know what I could have done differently (short of leaving the servers unreachable until someone else wakes up).
